OnePlus revealed earlier this month that it will launch a smartwatch in 2021, although it remains unclear whether to use Google’s Wear OS platform or custom software (such as Huawei and Samsung wearables). However, if a new report is needed, a cheaper fitness track can reach the finish line before a complete OnePlus smartwatch is ready.
Android Central is reporting that OnePlus will launch a fitness bracelet before its normal smartwatch is ready. The band is expected to arrive sometime in the first quarter of 2021 and will be priced at around $ 40. This puts it in competition with Xiaomi Mi Band 5, Galaxy Fit2, Wyze Band (photo above) and other low cost wearables . The OnePlus band will likely have an AMOLED display, water resistance and a battery of several days.
Given the proximity of OnePlus to Oppo, any fitness band from OnePlus could be based on the Oppo Band, launched in June. The Oppo Band has a 1.1-inch AMOLED screen, 12 sports tracking modes, waterproofing up to 50 meters, but without GPS. It costs CNY 199, which is equivalent to about $ 30 at the current exchange rate.
